A federal raid at Mt. Baker Roofing in Bellingham, Washington resulted in the arrest of 37 individuals by ICE and other federal agents. Witnesses, including employee Tomas Fuerte, described aggressive tactics used by officers, who detained workers in a room before taking them away in buses. ICE stated the arrests were part of a criminal investigation into illegal employment practices. This incident reflects ongoing enforcement patterns, contrasting with policies under previous administrations, despite an uptick compared to the Biden era.
